Can you give us more of an idea of what your are trying to accomplish? Something like iptables or any variety of port forwarding software is easy to use, also man sendmail might turn up the config file that holds that.

I have a different windows mail server that I want sendmail to send mail to but it runs on the standard ports +5000.

I think for this you will have to scroll down the sendmail.cf file in /etc/mail
it is huge and I don't know exactly how to get there but be patient and it wouldn't hurt to puruse the file anyway

Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

I think you went too far down. What you are looking for is closer to the top
try this

su -
<password>
cd /etc/mail
less sendmail.cf
/127.0.0.1
That should take you to that line
If you are still having difficulty let me know
